I use a rich color palette to express myself in acrylics and oils... sometimes in paintings, sometimes on stones...favoring nature and people.

Three Muscovies

"Three Muscovies"8"x24"x3/4" acrylic on visual edge canvas

The reference photo for this painting was taken on the same day as the last three paintings posted here. It was such a clear, crisp day and the shadows were awesome. Ducks on water are always interesting subjects, but add that terrific shadow cast by a tree across them and you've got that extra depth and contrast that really makes them special!
